3:00 am
minutes before an explosion. officials said if not for the quick thinking of the three officers, those people would likely not have survived. officer tells suffered from smoke inhalation but will be okay. jillian: great to highlight the good things they do in our community especially this week. todd: go out there and do some good stuff on your own. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> the cdc finally coming out and saying that fully vaccinated americans do not need to wear masks. >> it should have been done weeks ago. >> followed the science. >> about damn time that we should be following the science and not playing politics. >> colonial pipeline paid nearly $5 million ransom to get it systems back online. >> this is all the result of joe biden's failed policies and chickens coming home to roost. >> we can and we must reopen schools in the fall. >> these children should be back in schools in september there was all the science in the world back then. >> parent rose up to challenge the obscene critical race theory
3:01 am
that's poisoning their kids' curriculum. >> we are recalling six of the school board members. we accept this kind of behavior. >> think of this when you think of vaccination, ummmm vaccination, i'm getting a very good feeling. >> this is going to be the best day of my life ♪ my life, my life. ainsley: this is such a great day because it's friday and the cdc just announced yesterday that you don't have to wear a mask indoors or outdoors if you are fully vaccinated. every state has to come on board and announcements will be made. but we are a step in the right direction. this is amazing. steve: it we showed the capitol building in the house of representatives nancy pelosi said you are still going to have to wear a mask. and we are sitting in new york city where the governor still hasn't decided whether or not he
3:02 am
is going to drop the mask mandate because, right now, the mask mandate is still in effect for new york. ainsley: said no more physically distancing and large and small gatherings. because the governor has not made the announcement yet here we are still 6 feet apart. will: new york follows the cdc i mean in follow i mean trails the cdc. the cdc trails common sense. americans out there didn't need the cdc's permission. really quickly we saw bill de blasio eating a burger. i think that was shake shack. steve: it was. will: i would put shake shack third in the power rankings. steve: what's number one. will: in and out number two. and whataburger number one. chick-fil-a is chicken. steve: i would rather have the million dollars from ohio.
3:03 am
just saying. ainsley: i think we all would. free fries or a million dollars. griff jenkins joins us right now. griff, free fries or a million dollars? ainsley: easy. griff: i will take a million dollars. that would put shake shack up at the top of the list, i think behind what a burger. steve: they have good sauce. griff: messaging depend on which state you are referring to or even what businesses. but, make no mistake, this is a major milestone and return to normalcy from the pandemic from the 35 million americans are ho are fully vaccinated. visually such a stark contrast president biden wearing no mask walking up with vice president harris to the microphone and making this announcement. watch. >> the rule is very simple. get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do. griff: this after the cdc issues those new guidelines from those who have gotten the shot saying you no longer have to wear a
3:04 am
mask outdoors or indoors in most settings and lifting social distancing in most gatherings. while still advising people wear a mask in crowded indoor settings like public transportation or if you are feeling covid-19 symptoms. don't throw away the masks. the cdc' director also had a warning. >> this virus can be unpredictable. so if things get worse, there is always a chance we may need to make change to these recommendations. griff: as you point out, steve, on capitol hill, speaker pelosi says don't ditch the maverick instructing house members that they must still wear their mask when they are in the chamber except for when they are speaking. representative nancy mace has had reaction on "fox & friends first." >> this is a time to lead our country through this crisis and instead she is doubling down on this. we need to be encouraging vaccinations and show what that post vax life looks like. griff: now several states like new york and california have
3:05 am
received these new guidelines they say they're reviewing them before unmasking anyone. and you better check with businesses before you walk in with a naked face. major chains are taking different approaches. if you are headed starbucks, kroger or home depot it appears you better be wearing a mask, cvs, walgreen's or macy's they are still reviewing their policies. if you are heading to disney world you may be likely to enjoy a mask-free vacation. this summer the v. ceo call the white house's announcement good news. will: griff is well-traveled so i respect his input on the best burger but we will have to agree to disagree. i like the phrase naked face. it's about time we can embrace the naked face. i don't know if that puts it in its proper context but how about breathing freely without a diaper over your mouth. steve: i have been wearing one of those as for a year and never thought of it as a diaper. let's bring in dr. marc siegel.
3:06 am
dr. siegel, good morning to you. >> good morning i'm voting for that naked face and i also vote for shake shack by the way, will. because that's new york. shake shack is number one in new york. you've got to say it. steve: speaking of new york, governor cuomo hasn't decided whether or not he is going to listen to the cdc. you know, doctor, when you look at the mistakes that this particular governor has made, particularly regarding the nursing homes, and now the cdc is saying you don't have to wear a mask inside if you have been vaccinated, what's taking cuomo so long? >> well, look, steve, cuomo, as you know, i mean, he was readmitting patients to nursing homes that were covid-19 positive. no nursing home was ready for any covid-19 positive patients. so now is he grandstanding again. remember when he said i'm going to wait and see if i give the vaccine before i test it myself. now suddenly he is delaying this when these guidelines themselves were delayed. we have known for weeks now already that if you are
3:07 am
vaccinated the transes of you transmitting covid-19 in multiple studies is way less than 1%. even testing positive, less than 1%, a study in mayo clinic looking at 35,000 people. studies in israel. actually cdc is behind the science here and as usual, the governor is way behind that. i think the mayor in this case is ahead with his french fries than the governor as usual. ainsley: dr. siegel there is confusion about this. i know businesses have a right to choose if they want their patrons to wear masks or not like kroger and home depot and starbucks you still have to wear a mask. equinox big gym in new york out in california too, they sent a in the yesterday saying you have to wear a mask we will update it. in gyms hard sweating wear a mask and hot indoors. what do you think about children in schools? because the kids, the little ones can't get vaccinated yet and many parents are going to opt out of that anyway. do they still need to wear of the masks at school? >> well, ainsley, i have always
3:08 am
said about schools it has to do with your particular child. the rate of transmission is extremely low in schools. especially now with those at risk getting vaccinated like teachers and staff. and the children are not transmitting it. so i would say if your child is not going for it, no, the answer is no. they don't necessarily need to wear the mask. and the schools should be open despite that as far as businesses are concerned, here's the key. we are changing masks over to ventilation. let's work on making the ventilation good and the masks much less necessary. and, another thing that's come up by the way, i don't want the police out there saying who has got vaccines and who isn't? we are already becoming a left wing police state, aren't we? forget about enforcing this. this is the honor system. people should want to protect each other. get vaccinated and you are not going to spread covid. todd: dr. siegel let's come back to that in just a moment how do we move who is vaccinated or not. i want to follow up on something you said which i agree with. this is long past due.
3:09 am
this could have happened not just weeks ago but month ago this. is science trailing common sense. that begs the question is it really science that's guiding the cdc or is it politics? i want you to listen to the cdc director dr. rochelle row ren ski. we will talk on the other side of this but here she is why they made the decision now. >> i want to be clear we followed the science here. while this may serve as some people to get vaccinated. that's not the purpose here. the purpose as a public health agency to follow the science of course this guidance is really just for individuals who are vaccinated and when they can safely do we have work ahead 6 us updating guidance as far as settings schools and camps that will be the work we have ahead of us. will: dr. siegel, it was a week ago or two weeks ago dr. wolenski said children need
3:10 am
to wear a mask at summer camp unless they're swimming or something ridiculous about that. why the quick change? science couldn't have changed in the past week. >> no. science was there for weeks, will. you are making a great point. i think they were succumbing to political pressure before and now the republicans in congress are putting a lot of pressure on this. we have put a spotlight ton here and they are succumbing to the political pressure now in the right direction. so, hooray for that hooray for for the guidelines but they definitely should have been before it was politics getting in the way. i want to add one group we are not looking at yet. what about people who have gotten over covid-19 who have immunity from that? we have got studies that show they are not spreading it either, will. and how about people that had the monoclonal anti-boats. i can't give the vaccine yet. waiting weeks for the vaccine they are also not spreading it nobody is talking about that. that's an important group, too.
3:11 am
steve: some in washington talking about maybe they changed the rules yesterday because the president was taking a lot of heat. there were gas lines across the country. people see an unstoppable flow of migrants across our southern border. kids can't go school. and so they change the subject. ainsley: inflation, no jobs. will: war in israel. steve: people don't want to go to work because of the so much money. looks as if the administration political. we will won't ask you to weigh in on that. the cdc should not have removed restrictions without requiring proof of vaccination. and i know you don't like a police state, doctor, but they go ton say this announcement would be very welcomed if not for one big problem. there is no concurrent requirement for proof of vaccination. without it, the cdc announcement could end up creating confusion, removing incentives for those yet to be inoculated and delaying the eventual golf herd
3:12 am
immunity that would truly get society back to normal. you know what you are doing but you have no way of trusting everyone else. there is one of the story this s apparently a 21-year-old employee of that place had in his pocket 50 of the vaccination cards completely filled out. all they had to fill out were the names and going to give them to his friends and family members. so, you know, we know what we have done. you just got to trust that the person, you know, 10 feet away from you, 5 feet away from you, 2 feet away from you if they have the mask off they actually have been vaccinated. >> steve, i think this whole discussion here and this has been in the media overnight is completely crazy. by the way, i'm happy to see the president not wearing a mask on a zoom call now. you made a grate point there. we want the leader of the free world not to be contradicting himself in terms of what the guidelines are. but this idea, let's remember that we're talking about
3:13 am
guidelines. this isn't a law. steve: suggestion. >> where if you violate it somebody hauls you away. hey, you over there, you are speeding. we are pulling you over. speeding 75 miles per hour not pulling you over, checking to see if you have a vaccine card and if you don't hauled away to jail for not wearing a mask? i mean, how crazy are we becoming as a society? will: very crazy. >> guidelines are meant to guide you. and smart to say. will: if i could jump. in we are getting very crearksz tiptoeing to ask americans to wear arm bands on whether or not they have been vaccinated. scientifically how does it make any sense, dr. siegel. if i'm vaccinated why do i care whether or not you are vaccinated. i shouldn't care whether or not you are wearing a mask or vaccinated. i'm protected. >> yeah. that's a great point. will, that is where the science is right now. if you are vaccinated and someone near you isn't, the science is showing you are not
3:14 am
going to get covid. you are not going to carry covid. you are not going to transmit covid. so you are protected if you are vaccinated, period. that's a really good point. you don't need to check the vaccine card of the person next to you. maybe you need to give a hug at this point. ainsley: if i'm vaccinated do you need to see my card? steve: tough trust people. ainsley: the guy who stole 100 of whatever and giving to his friends there are people who make fake ids and close down colleges. that doesn't mean you need to close all the bars because there are a lot of 21-year-olds that are going to be honest about it. steve: dr. siegel, there is a story this morning, bill maher, the comedian, apparently has been fully vaccinated and yesterday he tested positive. and here in new york, a bunch of the yankee coaches tested positive. ainsley: it's not 100 percent. steve: it's not 100 percent. but it's close. >> because it's close to 100 percent, steve, and because the numbers of cases have gone
3:15 am
down dramatically over the past few weeks. and because the death rate is the lowest it's been in nine months. all of that is the reason that we have to open up and we have to get rid of the mask mandates everywhere. it's all happening at the same time. it's not 100 percent but it's close enough. ainsley: we hope bill maher is going to be okay. we wish him all the best. dr. siegel, thank you so much for coming on with us. >> i vote for the mushroom veggie burger at shake shack by the way. steve: is there meat on that? will: you had a compelling argument when you made it now throwing mushrooms and vengey on your burger? credibility lost. ainsley: thanks, dr. can siegel. we will pass that information ton jillian. do you agree? jillian: milk shake and fries. ainsley: she is vegetarian not vegan. she can have the milk shake. dr. siegel, great to see you this morning. >> great to see you. ainsley: now to the preakness
3:16 am
stakes. janice dean joins us from baltimore as medina spirit it results expected to be released today. steve: nice hat. janice: christine moore milliary and amanda moore beautiful dress. we are in baltimore for the second in the triple crown races. medina spirit is going to be sort of a cloud over this race because the horse tested positive for a substance after the kentucky derby. and, of course, you guys know i was in there in the barn and in bob baffert's barn. they are heart broken. they are not going to be at the preakness today. they don't want to be a distraction. me dean into spirit passed one of his drug tests yesterday. he has two more today to go through today to get to the preakness tomorrow. he is the favored horse to win if he does race tomorrow. the race time is 6:50.

constitutes sexual harassment. and how about this? shocking video shows a padre fan punching out another man at coors field in denver. watch is at second. jillian: isn't clear what exactly led up to that knockout blow. the video appears to show the man in the padres jersey being yelled at by rockies fan. he walks up and delivers a chilling right hook before being tackled. the victim is not pressing charges. wow, not something you want to see happen at a baseball game. steve: there is goes one more time, boom. >> we haven't been in games in forever, let's just watch. >> they weren't wearing masks. that's progress. ainsley: that's true. steve: thank you, jillian. go down to loudoun county, virginia where parents have launched a new ad campaign calling out critical race theory in classrooms aiming to oust six
3:36 am
school board members who they say tried to target and silence them. >> infecting our schools with critical race theory. training teachers that christians are oppressors. one school board member even endorsed an official committee to, quote, silence the opposition. parents and teachers are fighting back. they are recalling the six school board members who stood by and did nothing while parents were targeted. steve: well, that's part of the ad. two loudoun county moms join us now alicia brandy mother of three who actually pulled her kids out of the public schools in loudoun county this year and cheryl mother of three of and a member of loudoun's parents for education. ladies, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> good morning. steve: all right, so alicia, ultimately this all started you don't want critical race theory taught in your schools to your children is that why you want to
3:37 am
recall these six school board members? >> well, i really believe that our school board has really lost their way. for this reason and for adding the parents it our kids go back to school too hit list, one of the reasons but, also, yes, i don't want critical theater not just critical race theory but critical theory taught in our classrooms. steve: right. >> our schools are not for ideology. our schools are for education. and when you lower education you lower positive outcomes for everyone. that is not what we stand for. and loudoun county parents will not stand for lowering education. and this is a u.s. issue. it's not just a virginia issue. steve: elicia, what are you talking about regarding you are on an enemy's list or a hit
3:38 am
list? >> yes. we started going to school board meetings last summer wanting our children to return to school. all children, not just our children. all children. and when we start peeking about that and about critical theory, one of our school board members called for the parents against anti-racism to rise up and help her. they decided to put together a hit list which called for calling us racist and doxxing us. steve: okay. >> and, steve, that's what she did. and she put me out there and where we worked and our children went to school and put our names on a hit list. and actually. steve: it's terrible. and i understand law enforcement is now looking into it.
3:39 am
cheryl, you know, over the last year, so many parents have been trying so hard to get their kids back into the classroom and, yet, you say that instead, at your public schools, the teachers and the school board's more worried about, you know, social justice than actual in-person learning. >> you are absolutely right. it's been beyond frustrating. i am a part of the group, like elicia who started this grassroots kind of movement last summer to really try to lobby the school board and to come with solutions and, you know, they have time to do all kinds of social justice projects when, in my opinion there should be one item on their agenda every week until my kids are back in school five days a week. i want the school to get the politics out of the classroom. we need to get back to basics. you know, the u.s. is falling
3:40 am
behind, you know, countries like china. i mean, we are dumbing down the math curriculum in virginia. we need to get back to educating kids and to, you know, academic excellence and out of the sjw business. steve: i will tell you what a the school district did sandy statement to "fox & friends." they say critical race theory is not part of the curriculum being taught in the schools in explaining lcp equity priorities it might be helpful to state what they are not. they are not an effort to indoctrinate students and staff. no particular philosophy or theory. what they're is an effort to provide a welcoming, inclusive, affirming environment for all students. cheryl, would you agree with that? >> i do not agree with that i think it is word salad and, you know, when you hear words like phrases like equitable outcomes and, you know, equity thrown into, you know, every single policy that your school board
3:41 am

phone yesterday that is thrill news. if you are vaccinated. are didn't have covid. we have all been wondering why can't we take these masks off so we can breathe? still up to the businesses to decide if they are going to be able to, you know, allow the patrons to take them off. i know kroger, the grocery store chain has still said you have to wear a mask. right now home depot is saying the same thing and so is starbucks. some businesses say you can take it off state by state business will can't take it off yet. will: i don't mean to feel like a stuck in the mud. where have you been. cdc trailing common sense. we didn't need permission from the government to tell us what is right when it came to mask-wearing. it didn't feel like some finish line to me. it makes me wonder and skeptical when joe biden says get a vaccine or continue to wear the mask. it makes that sound like not

4:05 am
condition, and certain people who have -- are susceptible to autoimmune problems that they need to talk to their doctors. they may have been vaccinated but for some reason they may still have to take precaution. nonetheless, the president was very clear when he said this yesterday about how far we have come. >> i think it's the great milestone. a great day. you know, some people said we couldn't do this that we had this many people vaccinated we proved the doubters wrong when we asked to you get vaccinated you did. the american people stepped up. it you what i consider to be your patriotic duty. as president, i can say i'm pleased but i'm sure the vice president agrees with me, we are not surprised. the american people have never ever ever ever ever let their country down. there is nothing we are unable to do when we put our minds, our
4:06 am
hearts and our souls into it. steve: yeah, but what happened yesterday at 2:08? yesterday morning dr. fauci said you have still got to wear a of course that. dr. wolenski said you still have to wear a mask. 2:08 the government changes everything? it looks political to a lot of people because you have got gas lines. you have got people streaming across our southern border. you have inflation going through the roof higher than it's been for a long time. small businesses can't get anybody to work for them and i think it reached critical mass and the administration, which has been very good about message control realized we have got to change the subject. so let's give somebody something good to cheer about. take off the mask. ainsley: if you are just joining us we showed you mayor de blasio the mayor of new york city eating the burger. he is eating that because shake shack is saying we will give you free french fries if you proof. steve: not a burger, a fry. ainsley: exactly. the city of new york is giving you, i think it's seven day metro card if you are riding the subway and go get vaccinated

4:08 am
their mind. did we cross a magical threshold at noon? ainsley: i'm one of those whatever it takes. let's get these masks out of here. will: then do it. steve: ainsley, you are using common sense, to will's point, in ohio they have taken some of the money that the federal government gave the state of ohio to advertise get the coronavirus vaccine and they are taking 5 million bucks and going to bribe people and you watch, it's going to work. ultimately could save lives. ainsley: if we get to 70% we can take the masks off in the gym. that is so hard to work out with a mask on. so i'm like do whatever it takes i'm in favor of it. steve: work out outside. ainsley: that's a whole other discussion. will: science is not guiding it something else is guiding it. ainsley: politics. will: that's what i asked admiral brett giroir about earlier. >> these decisions are not pure science and we shouldn't look at
4:09 am
it that way. it's not just about infection control. it's about opening america and liberties and how we run our country. there was no scientific knowledge manifestation that happened yesterday. in fact, when you look at the cdc website and they say what's the science behind it? it goes back to an april 2nd website there was nothing new. i think somebody just had to have the political will and say this is the right thing to do stop the inertia at the cdc. you have got to get america open again. get off of the mask, restore confidence in the vaccine. steve: okay. let's bring in joe concha, fox news contributor and media opinion columnist for the hill. joe, good morning. >> good morning. happy friday. steve: thank goodness. and we are maskless although we are in new york so we still have to wear a mask because the governor has why county administration out of nowhere say happy days are here again take off the mask if you have
4:10 am
been vaccinated? >> look at the metrics i went back and watched an interview that dr. fauci just did a couple of days ago on cnn he said restrictions shouldn't be lifted until the u.s. is below 10,000 cases per day. seven day rolling average as of yesterday is about 36,000 new cases per kay. so if we are having more than three times the cases and we're not at what dr. fauci, he only runs the coronavirus task force in terms of his own metrics why was this done? as you said a very good question and you wonder about the political aspect of this when you consider the gas lines in south carolina majority of gas stations are closed outright. pipeline supplies all those gas stations suddenly gets hacked and perhaps a ransom some reports say was paid in order to turn it back on. when you consider the middle east is on fire in israel and
4:11 am
gaza. consider the border catastrophe when we had a record number of migrants encountered in april. the highest number in 20 years and when you look at inflation and the impact that's having on every american, you wonder about old saying about a dog and wagon and tail at this point. ainsley: full media meltdown. here is some of the doctors on other networks and what they had to say about this. >> frankly, i was shocked by this announcement. i think they went to one extreme to the other. the major step that's missing here is how do we know that people are telling the truth? >> this is not a free for all. i agree with dr. wen. >> i'm befuddled where this guidance came from. i think there are a lot of steps we are missing. >> people who never wanted a vaccine how do i get them to wear a mask? >> that is a great question.
4:12 am
>> fear is the greatest motivator and maybe fear is the greatest motivator in terms of reasons to watch tv or reasons to click on a certain sort of online publication, for example, that talks about covid and tries to fear monger people and that was dr. lean. in a wen that you saw on cnn. she also said this what's to stop the unvaccinated from endangering everyone. here are the stats for you as recently as a week ago nearly 85% of seniors in this country had been vaccinated. 95% of cody death in this country occurred with people 50 and older this. is all according to the cdc. that's obviously because of chronic conditions or because you have an aging immune system. when she says oh my god the unvaccinated are going going to kill everyone. the numbers say that simply is not the case. >> you don't need the numbers,
4:13 am
joe, by the way to back up common sense which said if you get vaccinated i don't why do i need to worry but. why do i need to care about what you are doing. i can't believe those people have a d or r before their name. here is what i want to get to with you, joe, here is why it is important to know whether or not science is guiding decision-making. these same agency also continue to give us guidance specifically when it documents who needs to be vaccinated children, for example. they will continue to give us guidance that we shall not question and harangue us if we ask questions about it now we are looking in retrospect at the guidance over masks wait, what was guiding you there if not science? i heard the cdc director not five month ago, not last year, last week talking about how a 2-year-old might have to wear a mask if they go to a summer camp outdoors and everybody outdoors
4:14 am
at that camp whether they are vaccinated or not, whether they are under five years old or not has to wear a mask. we went from that to now hey, if you are vaccinated everything is okay. but i still have questions. i want to know if my 7-year-old girl has to wear a mask at girl still if all the teachers are vaccinated. why does she have to do that? it's completely unfair and starting to get a little warm around here. are going to get uncomfortable as well. more questions than answers right now. dr. fauci who never met a microphone he didn't like needs to start doing interviews today and people need to start challenging dr. fauci and not be so afraid to do it and ask just basic questions that inform americans, particularly parents, of what happens next. ainsley: joe, i did do some research on that because if you have a 5-year-old obviously she can't get vaccinate sod she will probably still have to wear a mask at school if the school requires it. they say they will update guidance for schools and summer camps. >> looking forward to that ainsley. no question about it but here in new jersey, did you go into any business, i was in several yesterday, was aaron's day.
4:15 am
i'm telling you not one person wasn't wearing a mask, and not one business was like okay, it's okay now. i have a feeling it's going to take a while for people to get out of this habit. steve: i know where you were yesterday. >> that's correct. ainsley: sorry to interrupt you. i heard again again, i heard in new jersey you all have a place where you have a home goods, tj maxx, marshals and target in one spot. that's like a dream for any woman. >> if you are pretentious it's marchshalls and tar get'. steve: your wife is an emergency room doctor and you mentioned the science as well. you mentioned dr. fauci. dr. fauci as of yesterday come fall schools will be wide open. everybody back five days a week. so, you know, and for him to make that change on the same day they made the mask mandate
4:16 am
change. you have got figure the white house has been doing internal polling and the number one thing the president had been doing best on was coronavirus. people had it up here. polling going south. you know what? we have got to pull the plug on this steer the ship this way instead. >> so we went from follow the data, follow the science, listen to the doctors to listen to the polsters. that's very interesting. because they have been so accurate. particularly last year, right? probably not a good idea. and by the way the president of the united states again was completely misleading in his statement yesterday when he said that nobody thought that we would have this many people vaccinated by now. they thought we would get to this number by the fall. no, there is not one person in this country didn't think we would get to the numbers that we're at here in mid may given the trajectory we were already at when mr. biden took office. he keeps moving the goal post and no one bothers to fact check or challenge him on these things in shape or form. again hard to challenge someone who doesn't take questions.

that fully vaccinated people should be masked and still, still as you wear masks in subways and school buses, airplanes, hospitals, other crowded spaces, so i think they are trying to do their best. why do i wear a mask even though the science is so ambivalent? i always thought it was good man ners to put people at ease. how, after all, would i know that you're vaccinated? are you going to have a big v on your neck? will: why do you care though, geraldo if you're vaccinated? it doesn't matter if someone else is if you're vaccinated. geraldo: well, you know, i think , you basically are correct , but remember i was at school yesterday. she's 15 she got vaccinated the other day so i said isn't this great, isn't this great, schools going to get back to normal, now we're back together and she said wait a second, wait a second it's only 12-15- year-olds and older, what about the 11-year-olds and down into grade school, so you know,
5:09 am
it's an abundance of caution, maybe. we definitely see the end of this creepy killer that has stalked all our lives now for this past dark year. i think it's almost over. i still, you know, counsel caution if it's up to me. i still wear them when i should or when i can. when i make other people feel comfortable is when i wear them. ainsley: for many of us that we've been vaccinated, but we still, like you, geraldo, have to wear the mask in my building, in the elevators, here at work because those restrictions haven't been lifted, but i do hope that they remove that, because it has been such a nuisance. the washington post though is questioning whether or not we can trust americans. they said the cdc should never move restrictions without requiring proof of vaccination and then the article goes on to say this announcement be very welcome if not for one big problem. there's no concurrent
5:10 am
requirement for proof of vaccination. without it the cdc announcement could end up increasing confusion, removing incentives for those yet to be inoculated and delaying the eventual goal of herd immunity, that would get society truly back to normal the problem is this. you know what you're doing but you have no way to be confident of trusting everyone else. what's your reaction? geraldo: it's true. this is, you know, the whole debate over voter registration, i think everyone should have a national id card with a chip that says you're a registers republican, democrat whatever it is, you've been vaccinated here or there. i think that, remember, we used to have -- steve: geraldo hold on. you want big brother to have all of that information in some government database? do you trust the federal government with all that stuff? and what's to stop your health information from being in there too? geraldo: the privacy argument is an excellent one, steve, but remember not so long ago, in your passport you had that
5:11 am
yellow fold-out that had your smallpox shots, measles shots, your other protective by regulations. i don't think it's that big a jump. if there was a regular way to do it, i think it be important and i have some confidence that you all are protected. otherwise, can i bring my six- year-old near you without knowing for sure that you are vaccinated? can i let you in my restaurant if i don't know for sure that you are vaccinated. should i sit next to you on the airplane if you don't have a mask on? there's still a lot of question marks. it's almost over. people get impair enter and wreckless and they smashup buildings and protest and so forth. i just think that it's a couple months this is all history. will: i think you've just illustrated one of migrate my greatest turns about something you said earlier and i understand what you said. you said i wear a mask because i
5:12 am
want to have good manners. i know there are many people out there who feel similar to you. they are trying to "look out for their neighbor" by wearing a mask or getting vaccinated but what starts out as empathy so many times in our society not just on covid related issues what starts out as good manners turns into bullying, turns into demands turns into requirement, and within this span geraldo of two minutes you went from good manners to requiring me to show my papers. eeyou went from trying to be a good neighbor to asking to prove my vaccination, my voter registration to prove everything on a card and that's my concern. you start with empathy and end with a demand. geraldo: all right, will, what if this is the scenario. i'm seated at a restaurant with my wife and my children. you come in, you sit at the neighboring restaurant. shouldn't i have a reasonable expectation that you are vaccinated, that your family and those members that are appropriate are vaccinated? will: no. geraldo: don't you owe me as a fellow citizen the reassurance
5:13 am
that you're not going to make my family sick? will: no. geraldo: i think that if you disagree with me -- will: the science suggests i do not present a threat. you are vaccinated, you'll have the choice of whether or not to vaccinate your children, the risk is minimal, the numbers backed by the data suggest your concerns and your paranoia does not get to impede upon my freedom. geraldo: well if you've ever taken a subway in new york, will , you know that your nose is in someone else's arm pit, they are breathing down the back of your neck, you're crammed in there like a sardine. don't you want to know whose vaccinated? or take a limousine. steve: speaking of new york, geraldo, here in new york, mayor deblasio yesterday was eating a great big burger from shake shack because shake shack is going to give you free fries if
5:14 am
you get an innoculation and in your state of ohio, the governor has come out with a great idea and that is five different people in your state are going to win $1 million simply for getting a jab. is that a good investment of public dollars? geraldo: i'm all for it. mike dewine announced that with some of the stimulus money, five lucky winners already vaccinated , you don't have to apply for it. we'll be getting $1 million. now, i know some companies are giving out cases of beer. there are other incentives that are out there. this one, however, here in the buckeye state, i think wins the cake. $1 million to the random person selected and they say, steve, that your odds are better than they be in the normal state lottery because fewer people are i guess engaged so it's 1 million a week, five weeks, in ohio, if you're vaccinated, if you need any incentive to get a
5:15 am
jab, $1 million might be just the ticket. steve: lottery ticket is $1. the jab is free. ainsley: and your state also, geraldo, is the latest to announce they are cutting the federal unemployment. there's $300 checks. geraldo: they have to. they absolutely have to. ainsley, there are help wanted signs throughout my area. this is a yours truly, it's a chain of coffee shops. it pays well, with tips. you get into the i don't know the specifics but you're into the certainly the teens, they can't find work, many of the stores are shut as a result. i stopped at one highway rest stop on the pennsylvania turnpike, six restaurants, i may have told you this six restaurants only the chick-fil-a was open, the other five all closed. why are they all closed? no help available. how are you going to get people to work when you get your unemployment insurance, plus $300 on top of that, indefinitely, well many of the republicans say it's like my
5:16 am
own is i've put an , there's a day certain that will end in a month or so. will: chick-fil-a was open. we know you weren't out on a sunday. ainsley: i can't wait to see the results of this in these states so 16 states saying no more unemployment if they are going to start seeing more people back at work. steve: i bet you're right. geraldo: no doubt, i have no doubt. steve: all right. will: always fun to talk to you geraldo. geraldo: jobs or unemployment. steve: geraldo put your geraldo rivera mask back on and we'll see you back on this program next friday. geraldo: i'll be walking around then. will: i'll see you at the restaurant. you can wear that mask. ainsley: some people use it so they aren't recognized, but geraldo wants to be recognized. steve: i think it be funny if we all four had the geraldo masks. ainsley: i feel like i would look weird. jillian: also person dropping her phone here, sorry if you heard that loud noise and i distracted you guys good morning let's begin with this fox news alert now.

>> [shots fired] will: fox news alert the israeli military executes air strikes in gaza, reportedly targeting a hamas turn" network. as conflict escalates overnight pentagon mulling 120 military personnel being pulled out of that region, in a "abundance of caution." here to react fox news senior strategic analyst and retired four star general jack keane. general thanks so much for being here. i want your reaction to both what's going on in israel overnight and the united states response in out of an abundance of caution pulling personnel out >> well, i certainly understand getting our people out of harms way, and obviously, this is a very challenging situation that's taking place here in
5:24 am
israel. the phase that we're in now that israel is facing is they clearly , in the words of prime minister benjamin netanyahu, he wants hamas and palestinian islamic jihad those are the two terrorist organizations that are firing the rockets and the missiles, he wants them to pay a price for this , much as they did back in 2014, when he not only conducted air strike s but also made a ground assault into gaza. he's moved those ground troops up closer to the gaza border, as you have indicated. he has not launched an attack in the gaza and he's using those ground forces to fire their own organic artillery and what he's trying to do in terms of pay a price, he's certainly not interested in killing any civilians and give civilians warnings before they conduct an attack on specific buildings , but obviously, given 2 million people living on top of one another, there will be civilian casualties, but he's after the leaders. he's after the fighters but most
5:25 am
importantly, he's after the infrastructure. the launches of the rockets and missiles, the rockets and missiles themselves, the depo storage areas, the entire infrastructure as you mentioned of the tunnel network that supports all of this activity, they don't move around on the city streets. they move around in a complex tunnel network that some people have seen it referred to it as a city underneath a city, so this entire infrastructure that's supporting these rocket and missile attacks is the phase that we're in now and i think they'll stay in that phase until their intelligence services indicate that the prime minister , they've accomplished the goal they wanted and that is a huge consequential result for these terrorist organizations and doing it, and so it's a deterrence for them doing it again. will: meanwhile, general, a different kind of attack here in the united states. a cyberattack on the colonial pipeline. president biden has said it wasn't coordinated by the russian government but it did take place in russia.
5:26 am
let's listen to president biden. >> we do not leave the russian government was involved in this attack, but we do have strong reason to believe that the criminals who did the attack are living in russia. that's where it came from. where from russia? will: you know, general, there are those who suggested if it's happening in russia, whether or not it's coordinated by the government, it's happening with the knowledge of the government. can we parse, should we parse between hackers in russia and hackers connected to the russian government? >> absolutely not. i mean, this is really disappointing by the president of the united states. i understand he doesn't have evidence, he's telling us that, that a russian government hacker pulled the trigger on this attack. let's take that at face value but here is the other evidence that we have and this is the part of the story that must be told. russia is sanctioning russian criminal hacking activity. why is that?
5:27 am
one, because it significantly helps them in terms of the national interest. it's disrupting and undermining democratic societies, particularly in this case, the united states. they also benefit from the intelligence value, the attack on critical u.s. infrastructure would give them if the government wanted to do that if we were involved in conflict operations. so this should really stop. the other thing, it's well-known in our national security circles that russian government hackers moonlight and work part time in these criminal activities. that is an established fact, and an attack on a critical infrastructure and scale of this size, in russia's number one adversary, the united states , believe me, the russian government likely okay'd that attack because of the consequences of it, and russia wanted to make certain that they understood all the implications of that kind of an attack. and as a result of that here is
5:28 am
what the president, the president's avoiding what you're going to ask me. what do we do about it? will: right. >> he's avoiding that consequence. one call out the russians for sanctioning this russian criminal activity. conduct offensive cyberattack against the criminal activity itself. i'm assuming we're already doing that because we have the capability and that's a classified operation. sanctions of the russian oil & gas industry and go after the companies that are building the russian pipeline to germany that so many in europe are opposed to and the united states is opposed to. let's hold the russians accountable for this behavior, or it's going to continue to explode. will: you know general that was the question i was going to suggest. i hope to go into it deeper with you in the future perhaps as soon as this weekend but what should we do about it? that's obviously the next conversation we need to have. i hope to talk to you soon, general, about that. thanks for your time this morning. >> yeah, great talking to you, will. will: you too, still ahead. the story of one of the country 's first korean

5:43 am
administration either don't have a clue what's going on or they are purposefully misleading their fellow americans, because here are the numbers on the national level with regard to the border patrol, they apprehended this last month and the month of april, more than 170,000 people. that is a 10-fold increase over the prior april, where they apprehended about 17,000 people, but also, i can tell you what's going on on the ground with regard to the state of texas, because i have deployed the texas department of public safety as well as the national guard, and they have apprehended about 30,000 people who came across the border and they've arrested more than 900 people coming across the border but steve, there's something else, a new dynamic about what's going on on the border that americans into ed to know about and that is the increased apprehension of fentanyl coming across the border. yes there maybe people coming across the border but there's dangerous drugs coming across the border for your audience who may not know, 2 milligrams of
5:44 am
fentanyl is a fatal dose, and so know this. we had over an 800% increase, april over april about the amount of fentanyl that has been apprehended by the texas department of public safety. we have obtained enough fentanyl coming across the border to kill every single person in the state of new york, and so this is a very deadly situation, happening on the border. the biden administration better wake up. however, steve, this is the deal , because of what texas is doing on the border if texas, that is securing the border, we want biden to pay for it. steve: it seems fair, absolutely fair, because you're doing the job that the federal government should be doing but they refuse to. governor, also, you've been busy i know you've just signed the alcohol-to-go bill, and that is going to really help struggl ing restaurants, because now, in addition to your take-
5:45 am
out food you'll be able to get a cocktail or a beer or wine or something like that as well. >> well first, for the setting of where we are in texas right now, all of our restaurants are 100% fully open and they have been for a while. this alcohol-to-go was one of the measures that we put in place during the course of the pandemic when restaurants were not allowed to be open 100% , and so many restaurants owners have said that this alcohol-to-go program that we allow them to undertake during the course of the pandemic, that is what kept them open and operational and had it not been for that they may have had to shutdown, but the point is, that both restaurants as well as texans, liked alcohol to go so much, we decided to make it permanent law steve: well there you go and now it is. all right, governor thank you very much for joining us from austin. have a great weekend. >> you all too, thanks. steve: you bet. meanwhile this weekend, the preakness and janice dean is

5:47 am
the testing is strong, but the rules have not changed. we've got to adjust them. >> janice: that's what a lot of trainers are saying. standardized testing across-the-board for all of the races. we're going to find out today bob baffert and his family are not here. they want to keep the focus on the horse and not on them, and of course, it will run tomorrow. we hope the medina spirit will be in but we'll keep you up-to-date throughout the day today. it is a beautiful forecast for baltimore, i will tell you that sunshine 75 degrees a light wind that's why i'm holding on to my hat and you know, obviously, the controversy is going to bring eyeballs to the race, but it's still a wonderful event that i really enjoy cover ing, so thank you for bringing me here and we'll bring you the very latest from the preakness, back to you. steve: nobody has better coverage than you do, janice. thank you for making the trip down to baltimore today. >> janice: you got it. steve: we'll be watching. meanwhile still ahead how does
